Eagle has landed
We spent our first night in the new house last night. The boxes all showed up Tuesday, TV was mounted to the wall Friday night, and we spent Sunday unpacking the kitchen. Kristi and I are pretty wiped out. The … Continue reading
Box canyon
Our stuff was delivered to the new house today. Once again, we are surrounded by stack after stack of boxes. Even with the stacks scattered throughout the house, it’s a bit imposing. We have quite a task ahead of us. … Continue reading

You may call me “Captain”

Trip report, day 2
We decided to visit Yosemite before doing our normal trip north, so yesterday we headed south and east from Bellflower. We gassed up both cars at Automall & I-880, and went across Pacheco Pass (Gilroy to Los Banos). We stopped … Continue reading
The Curtain closes
Well, the day has finally come. The house is empty, we slept in sleeping bags on the floor last night, because the moving truck took the beds (and everything else) away yesterday. Most things about the move are going very … Continue reading
Box Canyon
The exodus to Washington is well underway. We made a “house-hunting” trip up there last week, and took the opportunity to take some of the stuff we didn’t want handled by packers (like the CNC machine). Two thousand miles of … Continue reading
